On Nov. 6, 2025, City Council approved Ordinance 8712, which put in place a citywide affordable housing impact fee on replacement homes and substantial additions to single unit homes. The new fee applies to all complete building permit applications submitted to the city on or after Jan. 31, 2026. The intent of the impact fee is to ensure that single unit developments that are exempted from the Inclusionary Housing (IH) regulations are contributing to affordable housing in the community. Refer to the project website for more information.
We are working to implement an updated and more efficient application process. Some applications will now be available through the Customer Self-Service Portal (CSS) to submit online, and we will be adding more in the months to come.
